Well done M!

Conversation first thing in the morning, a few days ago

Gail, where are we going to go for our walk with M and J this week?

Well Bertie, I promised to show them the nice route by Cowie Water, near Stonehaven. You like that one, don't you?

I do Gail, but do you think M will manage it? There's a rather steep section, rough, with lots of tree roots and loose stones, and I seem to remember that our friend once said she preferred flat walks.

She did Bertie, but that was pre-Pandemic. I do believe M will soon be sprinting up Munros after all the intrepid hiking she and J have been doing these past few months.

The walk


Post-walk conversation, back home.

Gosh Gail, that was fun, those huge old beech trees beside the burn are particularly impressive. And you were right, I was under-estimating your former German teacher. 

Now Bertie, I see you have only posted the photos that I took. M emailed us a couple of lovely ones too.  They turned out rather better than mine in fact. Why don't you put those on the blog?

Well Gail, they are indeed excellent pictures, but I fear they might get us arrested. Remember that people from separate households are supposed to keep two meters (or for those who read my last post, three and a third Berties), apart.

Bertie, don't worry, we can soon sort that out...

  3. Clapping wildly for the M, J, G and B legally acceptable hike. Everyone is smiling and for sure at least one of you has a wagging tail.

  4. As long as you know for sure that Gail and M and J are healthy, we don't see anything earthshattering to worry about, Bertie.

  5. It looks like you all enjoyed your walk in the woods. We think your careful edits of those photos will keep Gail from any fines.

  10. Great photo modification BOL!! But that walk just looks so lovely....we're envious. We are not restricted on our walks, but the scenery can't compare.

  11. There's a photo again of that beautiful heather. I had hoped that Gail would keep the one of you bouncing through it posted just a bit longer...or perhaps permanently.

  13. Another beautiful walk in excellent company, you lucky boy Bertie! We love the way you self-distanced, but it probably wasn't necessary in so much fresh air!
    My human's old computer died last week and now she has a new one with a big, big screen. You are almost life sized Bertie - and so handsome!

    Love,
